Black History and Mental Health
During this year’s Black History Month commemorations, the Association for the Study of African American Life and History (ASALH) is focusing on the importance of Black health and wellness. According to ASALH, Black health and wellness includes not only one’s physical body but also emotional and mental health. And that the rise of fields such as public and community health and health informatics have led to an increase in preventive care and a focus on body positivity, physical exercise, nutrition, and more. You can take deeper look at ASALH’s 2022 theme for Black History Month and apply it to the work at your practice by visiting this site.
